Fireside Chats - Fred Neale

Angel Radio's oral history archive is not just the memories of local people spoken into a microphone.

Our oral history programmes are educational, memory jogging, and entertaining.

The conversation takes the form of a fireside chat in the home of an Angel Radio listener. The conversation is basically a chronological tour of the subject's life, starting with a memory tour of their grandparent's house and the local area. Shops, schools, dance halls, churches, factories, working conditions, entertainment and recreation, the war, courtship, marriage and housing conditions, may all crop up during the chat.

The music of the day is added during the editing process.
